Where to buy autocockers

I want to build a pump, a sniper. Im looking to buy a Lightning autococker but I dont know where to buy one. Other body suggestions are welcome as long as theyre relatively inexpensive and readily available

or just buy one instead of ruining a perfectly good cocker.... you can buy cocker pumps from paintball gateway for like 180, and i believe they already have check-it valves installed

Pumping doesn't ruin a cocker, you can easily switch a sniper back to a cocker. The pumps on paintball gateway are a ripoff.

Look used on the forums, or ebay. Best place to find a nice, reasonably priced cocker.

ok "ruin" isn't necessarily the right word, but would somebody say something if you pumped a DC1 or 2? What about a belsales evo x? My point is why pump something hard to find or something that has nice lines? i mean by all means pump a prostock or nightkast...

Pump doesn't ruin cockers in my mind because it can always be swapped back again, but do you know what does? Eblades
When people drill beautiful autocockers to except an eblade it destroys that cocker forever. The only exception is a bind eblade with no eye holes.

The eblade sensor works fine... And as long as the person knows what they are doing drilling a body isn't a bad thing in my eyes. But, I also believe that if it came from the factory mech, leave it mech.

As for dc2 pumps, I've seen a couple. They look cool. And the owners were smart enough to keep the factory parts.

As for where to find snipers, customcockers.com/forum is the single best place as prices are the most fair there.

What is worse then drilling for eyes is people who half-block or midblock their nicely milled cockers. While I couldn't care less if you half blocked a prostock, it kills me to see some ugly hack job ruining a nice autococker. Midblocks are better, but most half blocks that aren't from the factory are extremely ugly.

As for buying cockers, Custom Cockers as has been said, mcarterbrown is another good option, and if you're willing to risk it, pbnation can have some good deals, just remember to never gift your payment. My one problem with Custom Cockers is its a smaller site so the options are limited, and while most of the prices are fair, the people who use it tend to deal a lot with the high end, more expensive ones.

If you want to get sponsored, present yourself as a mature adult, not a four year old with a crayon.

i agree that half-blocking and mid-blocking bodies are also tampering with beauty... if it has good lines i.e. karnivors and freeflow bodies... if its a mech or undrilled i wouldn't drill it just to eblade it

i guess i'm a 'cocker purist cause i grew up in the era where cockers were what ruled the field... and i understand the want for devolving cockers into pumps because they feel familiar and are easy to work on and all that... i guess i don't see the point where if i'm going to be slowing my game down i want to shoot something stock class or a hopper fed phantom... but hey thats just me
